Look up “On this date…” in the paper for today, 29 Feb, and get ready to laugh. Many (most) of the entries are for years that were not Leap Years! Good lesson for school children to fact check.

Hello Craig – Thank you for your interest in On This Day. There was a technical glitch with the feed of events from the Associated Press, which was why the page was displaying, for a time, events that did not occur on Feb. 29. It has been fixed. Thanks again! – Holly
